Sex abuse in schools is [b]unfortunately common[/b] and mostly perpetrated by men.

But remember women can abuse kids in other ways (physical, verbal, emotional)[/quote]

No, it is not common. Even one case of it is too much but as horrible as it is, it is thankfully not “common” in schools. It is much more common for kids to be sexually abused at their home or the perpetrators home than at school or anywhere else. [/quote]

[quote]Educators are some of the most cherished members of our community. Arguably they play one of the most pivotal roles in our children’s lives, educating them in fundamental skills and promoting their social and emotional growth and well-being. However, in recent years there has also been increased media attention on cases of educator sexual misconduct. [b]Sadly, these are not isolated incidents, as it is estimated that about 10 percent of students will experience educator sexual misconduct by the time they graduate high school.[/b][/quote]

[quote]A new large-scale, multistate survey of recent high school graduates about the nature and scope of educator sexual misconduct in Grades K-12 conducted by our lab found that almost 20 years after the publication of the Shakeshaft report, educator sexual misconduct remains rampant. Of the 6632 participants, 11.7 percent reported having experienced at least one form of educator sexual misconduct during grades K-12.[/quote]

[quote]Similar to past research, we found that:

Most perpetrators were teachers (63.4 percent) or coaches/gym teachers (19.7 percent).
Most perpetrators were male (89.1 percent).
The majority of those who experienced educator sexual misconduct were female (72 percent), and in high school at the time, they experienced sexual misconduct.
Sexual grooming behaviors such as giving the student gifts, food, money, jewelry, and special attention were often reported.
There were low rates of reporting, and few reports resulted in the disciplinary action of the educator.[/quote][/quote]

All of that is horrible but 10% isn’t “common.”[/quote]

Wow, yes it is, SMH[/quote]

You’re talking 10% of kids over their entire school career. Not 10% every day or every year. So no, it luckily isn’t common. [/quote]

omg! 1 in 10 for such a severe event is absolutely very common. wow wow wow. [/quote]
